Ah you are correct. Thanks for the correction. I may have read otherwise, somewhere, but who knows that may have been an AI-tinted site. It’s been a hot minute since I last messed with programming using QT. I could have sworn it was webkit but the facts are the facts.
Yes, they are both WebKit, though largely irrelevant. Personally, I’m a daily KDE user. I did install falkon out of Curiosity for a short while. But neither it or konqueror are generally in any distributions base install. Including KDE neon.
They are usable, so long as you don’t use any sort of add-ons.
Falkon is based on Qt web. So it is also WebKit.
Correction Falkon and Qt web engine are indeed chromium. Konqueror alone then would be WebKit
They also haven’t written a browser. It’s an apples and oranges comparison. There are plenty of Firefox derivatives that don’t have all the bloat that Mozilla, et cetera, is putting into there. That’s not the point. The point is how controlled they are by one of their competitors, namely Google.
There are only three main browser makers. Chrome by Google Firefox by Mozilla and WebKit/Safari now maintained by Apple but derived from Linux’s K desktop environment web engine. There are a lot of wrappers written around these, but at the end of the day, there’s still just the three.
The one real interesting bright spot though that I’m looking forward to is servo. Originally started by Mozilla, but now completely free of them. It’s not yet in a daily driver’s state, but it’s looking to be quite interesting.
Yep, sadly all the big countries that need to be taken to the ICC don’t recognize it. Funny how that works. No United States, no Russia no China, etc. It’s a decent idea. But unfortunately toothless as most other justice is kept.
That it’s become a popular joke in many circles is especially damning. Maybe just maybe, we should actually focus on rehabilitation and support. And less on torture and separation. It would certainly benefit society as a whole.
This was all likely a stunt. Apparently her mother is a well-known propagandist and blogger.
It’s the flaw of hierarchial power structures. They always calcify to serve themselves. Not the people they’re supposed to serve. Look at North Korea and China assisting Russia’s imperial machinations in the Donbas and Crimea. None of them (all similar power structures. Not just the ones I named) are our allies.
He blew bubba
That is fair.
Arch checking in. It may happen less. But it still does.
I never said it eliminated it. Just that it accounted for it. Keeping governance flat and small. So it doesn’t produce corruption on a national level. Or export it.
And in the end, what does it matter. Every ML government has been corrupted and pushed it’s corruption at a much larger scale. That’s the point. The scale and mass of those
And as to your linked investigation, that’s not particularly convincing one way or the other. If China was good as you pretend, they would have a free press. Instead they repress. Foreign press have where they can go severely restricted often accompanied by minders to make sure they don’t get close to what they’re looking for. And finally, it’s very common for those that are abused to deny their abuse as long as they are vulnerable to their abuser. Here’s a link to an interview. Where at one point family and activists confront a CCP rep about the disappearance of their friends and family. Where he convincingly screeches “OnE cHiNa!!!” In response to not having the power to disappear. I know you deny these peoples existence. I bet you’ll even resort to old trusty. CIA or NATO conspiracy!
But the fact is secrecy and suppression is not the hallmark of the innocent.The leaders of ML governments are human just like everyone else. They aren’t divine or infallible. No matter how much ideology blinded campists like yourself, claim otherwise.
Well, anarchism isn’t the absence of governance. It’s the answerability of governance. We need to abolish unanswerable calcified institutions of power. We can still have governments as long as they are smaller and answerable to the individual’s they govern.
All governments rely on uncorruptible civil servants to some degree.
This is flat-out false. Systems like anarchism explicitly expect it,and structured accordingly.
But the Chinese system has this pernacious habit of benefiting domestic Chinese residents.
Tanky say what?! Go ask the Uyghurs or the Tibetans or the Hong Kongers or any non-han ethnic group. It’s not an east west thing. It’s a “western nations did identical things to my family that China is doing over there. And I’m not an immature ideology blinded campist” thing. It’s a don’t be a hypocrite thing. But name a more iconic strawman for an ML than not just bigotedly lumping an entire ethnic group, but vast diverse groups as one. Just because they loosely share geopolitical ties.
If the Chinese economy was run out of a board room at JP Morgan or through a series is military based commanded by NATO Generals or via a client state like Israel or Japan, we wouldn’t hear any complaints.
You’re literally projecting. Because I’m here to tell you that’s just as bad. Fuck that shit whoever is doing it. Grow up and stop being an enabling hypocrite.
Agree or disagree, it’s just a fact.
If China genuinely wanted the poor to be less so. They wouldn’t have allowed the wealth disparity. Industrialization has lifted the base standard of living in every country its happened in. China, England, Russia, the US, currently in India. The problem, is that it has always benefited the owners far more. There’s always a strong plateau to the benefit of the social base in these systems. And no one has managed to fix it long term, not China or anyone else.
In fact, China’s youth right now are facing conditions surprisingly similar to those in the United States and elsewhere. With little economic opportunity for their futures, often jobless. Getting ready to grapple with a level of automation that other countries haven’t even come to terms with yet. It’s infinitely more likely that the next couple of decades will see massive social struggle and over there long before they will ever see communism.
Any government that relies on individuals to uncorruptly weild concentrated power… is the problem. Society and human nature will see it abused every time.
If your system relies on being run by exceptional people. Success itself is the exception.
Neither are likely. Though the fact that arguing against the government that created/enabled it in China would get you disappeared. China is even less likely. The party ultimately serves itself, not the people.
As torn said. ML aren’t communist. They’re authoritarian and generally capitalistic. Also the US brought millions out of poverty as well. But that doesn’t play well with biased authors and readers. See social security.
Bringing X numbers out of poverty however doesn’t justify or excuse either of their genocide and oppression. Not to mention since China speed ran the 20th century. They are already seen burgeoning inequality and returns to poverty. But campus have to camp and distort.
I live just outside KC Mo. But still within the skyline. 5 to 10 minutes north via 29. I was under the impression we’d been pizza-ed a long time ago. Granted this new carving is especially egregious. IIRC practically creating a district that spanned from KC to STL to take away our representation.
Both cities having close to half the states population but almost no representation at the state level.
If only Fetterman had an excuse like that. He was always a shit person. Just less shit than Mehmet Oz.
Yes, that and the GTK window decorations are a slight annoyance as well.
